The promised first 4000 of these have shipped. The rest will be shipped no later than Tuesday, or at least that's when I was told the tracking emails would be fo' sho' emailed out.
[G Tablet General] NinetyWt:
I don't think I've *ever* gotten anything from them that quickly.

I went back and updated my original post to add the estimated arrival date of March 29th (Tuesday).

Can't wait....Good info about the 3991. Needed to know that. Wondering what version is coming stock now.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Just a reminder - if anyone gets theirs today

A request - please tell us the build number when you get it. I already read on Woot that their CS said that it will NOT be the original firmware (thank goodness, that version was awful). So that means they have re-imaged them to something newer.

3588 = fairly safe to mod. Some of us here use that as a baseline for testing, and I haven't heard of any bricks from someone going from 3588 to a mod (although YAYOR, as always).

3991 = high risk. New development branch with a different bootloader and kernel. You WILL have problems with some of our mods, because of this.

Btw, one easy way to tell if you have 3991 (or newer) is if you have a lockscreen. That wasn't introduced until 3991.

I was hoping being in before noon az time I would have gotten a shipping notification, but guess not. oh well
[G Tablet General] NinetyWt:
In this thread, or separate thread?

BTW, thanks for all you do. I will be contributing to the developers here. Well, after I pay for a recent $280 Woot purchase. :cool:
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
Same with me. Oh well just have to be patient, or hope they typed in the wrong tracking number, but they are most likely automated.
[G Tablet General] sigvader:
Roebeet,

this Monday will make two weeks since I have had my gtablet when I started it up and set up wifi it updated to 3588! I've noticed these are shipping from Texas that is where mine came from so I'm wondering if they will be getting from the same batch as mine?
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
Woot's corporate office is in Texas. So most likely these are from Woot's office, but one of the staff members did just make a post saying these may be dropped shipped from the manufacturer.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
The firmware question came up on Woot fairly early (my fault). So someone contacted their customer service and they replied that they agreed that the originally firmware was bad, and that these new Woot devices were a new batch with an updated firmware that is much better.

But, this is just for Woot, if its true. If you buy from Office Depot or SEARS or even Amazon themselves, we don't know what batches those are. For SEARS, I suspect that they are still 2967 as it's probably the original batches from November. Office Deport might be similar - definitely not 3588, that's for sure.
[G Tablet General] Enectic:
Bah, FedEx changed estimated delivery to the 29th. Crap, looks like I'll have to wait a few more days.

[G Tablet General] rreyes0416:
People at the Woot Discuss page are already playing with the G tablet Today... ;( ... just waiting for mine
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
We just need one person to tell us the build number. :eek:
[G Tablet General] BobSchmickle:
Just got mine... Charging now... just turned it on to check:

Model Number: UPC300-2.2

Android OS Version: 2.2

TapUI version: 1.1-3389

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-00000-10.8.2-dirty hudson@tapntapsvn#15

Build number: FRF91
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
So relieved that my concerns were unfounded. :rolleyes:

Weird that they didn't use 3588, though. 3389 came out in December. I thought these were "new" batches?
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
Maybe "new" warehouse returns from Staples, Office Depot, and Sears. "Viewsonic you want us to keep selling your monitors then pick up these crates of tablets we couldn't sell". That's how I figured the conversation went. Or These guys may have guaranteed sales clauses, I know a few retailers that have those clauses with their vendors. For anyone not in the manufacturing or retail purchasing industry, guaranteed sales basically says that if they don't sell a product within a certain time frame the retailer can return the product to the manufacturer and not have to pay the bill for the unsold items. I assume Viewsonic still wants to keep selling their monitors through these guys so they would be nicer about taking returns on the tabs.
[G Tablet General] epakai:
Just received my unit. It's version 1.1-3389.

To those asking about ship status, the first about 4000 units did ship out friday. Being local I still feel pretty lucky to have it today. Woot is still waiting to receieve the rest and unnofficially we get them late monday which means they may or may not go out the same day.

[G Tablet General] vicestan:
Where do you guys see the shipping info, I logged into woot but I cant find any status as far as shipping : /
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I think my initial suspicions (as well as others) were correct. These might have been Staples inventory that they returned, once they pulled the item off the shelves. The timing is not 100% right however, as 3389 was a late December firmware. Maybe these were devices that Staples would have gotten in a second batch.

Regardless, I'm glad they are 3389 as that means the risk of soft brickage is much lower.
[G Tablet General] Justing6:
I bought mine at 10:56 AM PST. I seem to be in the second bunch that will hopefully ship on monday. I'm worried that the second batch of tabs that are shipped out will be newer and will have the new firmware version. Being a current iPhone jailbreaker, I know how annoying new firmware and bootloaders can be.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Justing6,

Other than not knowing and not having the tablet, I don't think you have a problem.

I am guessing that this big sale was a move by ViewSonic to get some stock out of

the way. Could have been stuff for Staples like roebeet said, or could have just been

stock that needed to be sold. Or maybe even stock to clear to get ready for the next

OTA.

If you get 3588 your good to go. If you get less than 3588, then you are about 10

minutes and a download away from 3588.

Don't see how it could be much better than that!!

[G Tablet General] Naysses:
Me too.... I can see where it says that was shipped or tracking number?
[G Tablet General] epakai:
If you're logged in on woot, click on "my account" at the top center. You can then click on the links in your list of items ordered and those pages have a tracking number. You should have also receieved an e-mail once the item has shipped including the tracking number (the majority of these have not shipped yet).
[G Tablet General] mrschwarz:
Some time in the morning.

It was shipped yesterday.

I got it today.

I live about 5 miles from Carrollton.
[G Tablet General] fridge011:
I received my shipping email friday at 430. They must have Made a Fedex ticket but it didn't get picked up because fedex still has no record of my tracking number
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
I'm in the same boat, but I find it a bit odd, because by now FedEx should actually be showing the shipment even if it wan't picked up with the only bit of information saying "Billing information received". Only reason this wouldn't have happened is if Woot's Fedex computer hasn't transmitted it's shipping info for the day yet and the package wasn't picked up.

Can't wait to get my grubby little hands on this!
[G Tablet General] djincnj:
Hand up, tooo funny actually checked email before and thought I saw woot for a second. They work all weekend sending out our precious cargo right. Seriously though I fly out Sunday early so I'm really hoping for a Monday shipment.

I know right, the UPS guy stops by my neighbors house DAILY so I constanly hear him coming and have to stop to think if I have anything in the works. HE'S THE MAN
[G Tablet General] tposey:
Was unaware it was that close. I am here in south fort worth so shipping should be quick :D
[G Tablet General] magicwiser:
I have ordered a ton of stuff from woot and I never get shipping stuff from them. Once in awhile I will get a tracking number but it does not ever register with the shipper...very annoying. Regardless, it just magically shows up on my doorstep about a week after I ordered it.
[G Tablet General] djincnj:
Ohhh yea looking for a tracking number today!!!
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Do a lot of you who ordered NOT have a shipping notice yet?

Hi,

I've been checking woot.com, and still don't see any indication that they've shipped, even though I can see that they applied the payment on 3/25, so I was wondering if a lot of you (us) are in that situation?

Hope that this is not a "bad" sign :(!!

Jim
[G Tablet General] djincnj:
I believe 6452 of us are currently in that sitch. Word is that they are getting the balance of the tabs today I believe with a turn around of today or tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

5) Arrived at Fed Ex on 3/25 at 1:00 PM Left at 9:00 am the next day. Estimated Delivery date 3/29.

6) Hopefully soon

As a seasoned wooter, here is my take on the situation. Woot can handle the volume of orders, it's what they do. Never be in a hurry for anything you order from them. The shipping on these was Fed Ex ground, not Smart Post. That means Fed Ex will bring it right to your door, and it should get to your residence/place of business fairly quickly.

That being said, it is only a matter of time before Fed Ex blacklists my IP address.
[G Tablet General] TheFlyingPig:
They probably didn't expect to have 10k units orderd. Maybe they are still waiting for the rest of the units?

Or perhaps, they just can't print shipping labels fast enough.
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
this sucks, I ordered mine around 9 am and was really hoping to have a shipping email when i got to work today =\
[G Tablet General] TheFlyingPig:
I sent the link to a lot of my friends. No one has a shipping confirmation yet.

But again, no one ordered before 9am either.
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
Here this is posted by a Woot Staffer should explain why some of us have tracking and others don't. Normally Woot doesn't do priority shipping based on who ordered first because they only sell what they physically have on hand, but they did in this case because they ordered extra for everyone.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

Please be clear that I'm not trying to be snarky, but is that "6452" number real? Not necessarily exact, but are there really > 6000 of the people who ordered who haven't received shipping notification?

Is that info available somewhere (sorry, I haven't been on the Woot forums)?

Thanks,

Jim

P.S. Just saw the other post after I posted, so editing. Will thank you :)...
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
Woot had said they had about 4k in stock and sold 10,500 so 6400 sounds about right. Woot got the rest in today and should be shipping all the rest today.

Normally Woot would stop at the 4k they had in stock which means as of around 9 am cst it would have been listed as sold out, but the awesome guys they are they got on the phone with their peoples and got another 6k or so sent to keep selling it.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
P.S. I wonder if the units in that "2nd batch" will also have 3389? More for roebeet to worry about :(...
[G Tablet General] bcampbe7:
Question for those that have received there Woot order...

Did you have to sign for this or did they leave it?
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Thankfully for the latter. I had seen the deal in the morning, but "sat" on it until I got back from work in the evening (EST), so I didn't get my order in until ~18:00 EST :)!

I signed up for Woot just for this deal, and I know that they've sold out on some earlier deals, so thank you WOOT!

Jim
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:

[G Tablet General] donatom3:
I always check woot before going to sleep. It's a habit cuz their Friday shirts always sell out fast. Anyway I saw the G-Tablet at about 1am pacific spent about an hour debating should I purchase it or not, because I knew it'd be sold out by the time I woke up, so I did buy it. I would have been right had woot not been awesome and just ordered more instead of calling it a day at 4k.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
FYI, I'm getting a "404" error on that link...

Jim
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
That link is linking to this thread. It's a limitation of XDA. If you copy a link that the XDA page shows with elipses in the middle then when you paste it into an xda reply box it will redo the link with elipses instead of the missing info. It was probably copied from my quote of the woot staffer on the page before.

I'll just bury my head in the sand if that happens and wish it all away.....

I was actually wondering if Viewsonic would be insane enough to release a new firmware this week, while all of these Woot! devices are in flight. Part of me wants them to release because I think that their new stock firmware will be much better than 3588, but part of me wonders if that is the best idea with tens of thousands of users about to be unleashed to their Customer Service area (and XDA too!).
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
Maybe they were all ready to release it, until you called them and told them 10k new units were being purchased by end users this week.

I rooted last night and ever since the HTC clock/weather widget and Google Maps shows my current location to Westland, MI which is definitely incorrect.... I live in Nashville, TN. Any ideas? Thus far I've tried all the basics, restart phone, turn off phone w/ battery pull for 30 seconds, clear data on weather apps in phone, and ofcourse toggle GPS on and off several times. Everytime I turn GPS back on and it "locates" me it gets it wrong. I've tried all of the things suggested for older HTC devices with the same issue with no luck. Any help would be appreciated! Or maybe this is some divine sign that I should move to Westland to see what is in store for me.... :) Thank you to everyone here for all that you do!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiLPhLiP311:
Got it fixed. Basically while rooting, i gained root succesfully but I what I believe happened was i flashed the custom firmware twice, instead of flashing the downgraded one first, and then flashing the customized firmware. I realized this because I noticed "S-ON" in the bootloader, so I started from scratch and boom, it was fixed. I noticed the location was off and when I was driving around today it was changing my "location" to random places, and also each "location" change would also change timezones... (went from 11:18AM to 5:18PM actually one time, within 5 miles of the different "locations"). So hopefully no one else had this much difficulty paying attention like I did, but if you did, here's your fix! Now rooted, S-OFF, and all is well here in Nashville. :) Thanks!

[HTC Aria General] Nsomnia911:
So finally my gf is going to get her first smartphone!!! I think I am moreexcited about it than she is.... big steps in life..

anyways I had suggested the aria for her...well the only way to get it now is through att online.. not in any stores as they are going to discontinue it...

my question is I have been reading so far that it cannot be rooted and hacked once its been updated... is that like a forever thing? or can it be downgraded then flashed?

also does anyone know if it comes from att online already updated and set up?

I dont want her to get this phone if it is completely locked down...

the only other phones I suggested are the atrix and inspire.. however she likes the phones but she thinks they are just too big..

right now it looks like the atrix is going to be the way to go.... especially if this phone comes updated and unrootable.....

please any thought would help out.. especially if anyone knows if att updates the phone before they mail it to you.

thanks,

Nsomnia
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
If it comes from AT&T with the Froyo 2.2 update applied, then it will be un-rootable, even if you downgrade back to 2.1.

If they are discontinuing the Aria, then I would say the chances are that the current stock on hand does not have the Froyo 2.2 update on it are very good and it's worth taking a chance on.
